HANS CLIMB TO SEE THE MIDNIGHT
SUN.
BY REV E. A. RAND.

>sIt is here etiill' said Hans, waking up
somewhere in the depths OF the night,
and from his bed looking out OF the win
dow of a Norwegian home. It was eleven
o'clock at night, and yet what he saw
was not starlight, but sunlight. He had
gone to bed at an early hour, eight
O'clock, the sun still pouring out OF the
cad of it's golden barrel in the sky
q stream OF bright light, and not yet was
the faucet turned. Hans had come up
from the southern part of Sweden TO visit
his grandmother, and he had never seen
the sun act in this way before, although
it was in no hurry there at home to stop
shining. But Hans had been asleep
some time, and he knew the hour was
very late. 1t was his first night beyond
the Arctic Circle.
Grandmother says it won't set all
night, and she ought to know" murmur-
ed Hans, still looking out of the window.
Grandmother was stout, fat woman
who looked as il she might hold large
quantity of knowledge, and she had been
packing it away for fifty years or more.
II would like to go up the mountain
and be there at midnight, and see for
myself if the sun will set" thought Hans.
However, grandmother had told him
she did not wish him to make this mid
night excursion.
at is not SO far up the mountain that
you haze to go. Stout as am can
walk it comfortably; but on the top it is
very rocky. There are," she affirmed
1'holes in the rocks, and you might tumble
into bad place."
Hans was only ten and as slim as a
bean pole, but he thought he had as
much knowledge as his grandmother.
The idea that he might tumble into a
holel The more he reflected upon it, the
more ridiculous did grandmother's fear
seem. He now sat up in bed, gazing at
the light flooding the windows, for the
sun had not yet turned that faucet.
at would not do any harm just to dress
and look out OF doors" thought Hans.
All, boy from southern Sweden, and
knowing such woudrous lott you don't
know that step number one in the path
of disobedience may not be a step, but
look. Stop looking at that light! Shut
your eyes and go to sleep
No, Hans opened his eyes wider, got
out of bed and dressed himself. He took
down his cap from its nail and hurried
out of doors.
"Bang-g-gl' went the door.
"Oh, desrI' thought Hans. 81 hope
that Jacob didn't hear mel"
Jacob was the hired man, and Hans
had taken dislike to him because Jacob
said, "Little boy, did You come up from
the other end of Norway"
Hans thought he was too old to be ad-
dressed that way. Besides Hans was
proud to say he lived in Sweden.
No one seemed to hear him, and pass
ing to the end of the house, he looked
mp the mountain. Wrong step number
two was this look. 1t was not much of
a mountain. In the sunlight that bathed
it, the mountain had an attractive sp-
pearance. How Hans did want to climb
it and see the sun that would not set at
ALL
"EI-will go just little way" said
Hans. That won't do any harm"
This resolve was the third wrong step.

THE PLUCK THAT WINS.

Years ago German boy read of the
siege of Troy, and made up his mind to find
the ruins of that ancient city. Troy had
persisted three thousand years ago-if in
deed it ever existed at all. But, said the
little German, will find it. Though q
poor lad, shaving at work until bedtime,
he procured books and taught himself
six or seven languages. He pushed on
and prospered, until as merchant he
had made fortune. Every step OF this
study and money making was taken with
the aim of fulfilling the VOW of his boy
hood. In due time he started east with
a company of laborers, and for long, long
years pursued his search, At last he
found Troy. His discovery was senea-
ton throughout all Europe. A few
years ago the treasures of gold, silver, and
bronze dug out of the palace of the Trojan
king, were exhibited at South Kensing-
ton. For 5000 years the buried ruins of
that city had lain covered with sand, and
by many it was regarded only as the
tabled creation of poetry, but DIR. Schlie-
mann, at his own expense, and by his
own amazing enterprise, proved the dis
covery to the world. Think of it. A
poor lad learning languages, making
money, spending seven years or more in
far away deserts, sustained through a
lifetime by one fixed resolution. He
vowed in boyhood that he would find
Troy, and he did find it. This German
lad said, "Put down my name," and when
his life was far spent he succeeded in
hacking his way into the temple Of fame.

THE NORTH OF IRELAND.
Farmers Who Hope Not to Have
Home Rule.


Dating from Belfast The London
Times correspondent in Ireland writes:
Having spent considerable time in
the south and west, determined to see
something of the other Ireland in the
north. 1t is like different country.
Even in Donegal the change Of accent
strikes one, but on entering London
derry it becomes pronounced; and IL is
not only in the + accent but in charac-
ter and disposition, that the people are
closely allied to the Scotch. They are
sturdy race, Woodworking, independent,
and thrifty. "You know very little of
this country" said one man; ''if twelve
people want to send letter to Dublin,
they'd go co. in the penny stamp"
visited some substantial farmers in
Londonderry who would answer very
much to the yeoman class in England.
The first was prosperous man, who
had built house fit for any gentleman
when be had no lease, and who agreed
on II judicial rent under the land act
without going into court. aye needn't
ask me anything" he said; "yuv only
to look at me 10 see that I'm content
ed" He showed me over his farm
yard and offices, and from the appear
ance of everything | should say that he
certainly ought to be contcnted. He
declared, nevertheless, that it was very
hard now TO make both ends meet, If n
man is depending solely on the land.
Its not the rent" he said, but tho
prices; and you English with your FREQ
trade are running u.s." His parting
Injunction was delivered slowly and
with great emphasis. "When ye go
home" he said, tell them, whatever
ye do, not TO give us home rule. "
The next man | saw had raised him
sele by industry from the pos ton of
common laborer, and had built house
fully equal TO the last He was con-
tent to live friendly with his landlord,
he said, rs everyone ought to be, and
he had fixed his rent with him out of
court. He grew Il good deal of oats
and flax, and had dairy OF twelve
cows. II suppose you were glad the
home rule bill was rejectcdg" | asked.
Yes. and the last one, too" he said
eagerly. Going to break our fifteen
years judicial lease! Whatever hap
pens after let us have our fifteen years
al any rate" | visited another of the
same class, who had had some disputes
with his landlord and was less content
cd. though his house was if possible,
more magnificent than the others, and,
like them, out of all proportion to the
size of his holding, which was only
about one hundred acres. He had
always taken an active part in politics,
he said. and was evidently an extreme
radicals but he abstaincd from voting
at the last elect on, as he would not
vote for Il conservative and could not
vote for home-ruler. Many of the
Presbyterians in the north are, be-
lieve, extremely democratic, and would
be nationalist if it were not for the
fear of being ruled by Rome. This
man also said that if he had nothing
but the land, he would find it very hard
to keep square and do justice to his
family; but the open piano and hand
some furniture showed what that
meant
